The S6800 is a great, simple compact camera that is meant for people who want a great camera that is small and portable, you can take well under way, which one gets out, turn on, getting ready photos. Who need to no frills, without much idea of photography. And that makes the camera ideal and is still fairly well equipped and quite chic
*** The Outer: ***
The camera is really small and compact in spite of a 12x zoom, equivalent to a focal length of 25-300mm. The red of my Models looks really chic, I know people who would buy the camera already on the basis of color. The monitor back has a diameter of 7.5cm and dissolves as mentioned with nearly 500,000 pixels made. An optical viewfinder is omitted, is in cameras of this type but also unusual. There are behind a record button which allows you to directly start recording video, the recording time is limited to 29 minutes (otherwise, the camera would have to be declared as a camcorder and would be more expensive). Otherwise, you can adjust more settings from flash, exposure compensation, self-timer and Close on the Einstelldrehkreuz and that's essentially where the camera but more can. More on that later. There is also an HDMI and a USB connection and fortunately the tripod socket is right in the middle of the image axis.
From the first external impression produces the camera is so schonmal absolutely top
*** Handling: ***
The camera is perceived 1.5 seconds after power is operational. Triggering always depends on the exposure situation, under ideal circumstances you notice almost no lag when the camera has yet to focus needs they also schonnmal ne good second before it triggers. If you want to make video recordings expresses one as mentioned just the Rec key and off you go.
- In most cases, you will simply set, in which the camera makes all the settings automatically. For this you press on "Scene" and activates the Scene Auto Selector. One should be careful that you do not "automatic" chooses, because this corresponds to, as I understand it, the setting P in high end cameras, ie the camera performs settings of aperture and shutter speed yourself, things like white balance or the like can and must you then but set itself. Therefore, people should want to make just good photographs always select the Programmed AE.
Now the problem is with automatic programs that it now indeed as good that they recognize the right situation generally and the camera will adjust it (eg Portrait, Macro, Landscape, Night, etc.) but also not always be right. Fortunately, the camera always shows in the upper left corner at which shooting mode you just selected. One notices that the photos permanently in a particular situation nothing can be seen, whether the camera not wasting VLT and just has night mode, although you really want to capture fireworks are there.
- Then you can at the second point when you press "Scene" and make the correct setting itself, with one as well as the possibility has to make a 180 ° or 360 ° panoramic image, or you can specify that you want to shoot an animal, then the camera takes several frames in succession so that the chance of a good image is higher.
- On the third point, you can select different image effects directly, for example to sepia or black and white. But I would advise against it this here already to choose, because these effects can be laid over an image even after very simple. Finally, the camera has a smart yet function in it recognizes when someone smiles and automatically takes a picture.
But as I said, in most cases it does the setting "Scene Auto Selector"
*** Image editing effects: ***
You can edit the images directly after shooting or during subsequent viewing with various effects. Simply pressing the appropriate mode on OK and then get a choice of various effects displayed, for example, you can make the image popiger, make the colors richer, and more to add a pinhole or a Sepaieffekt. Both the edited image and the original image is saved, so that nothing is lost.
Also very cool the effects that may be incorporated, if you click in picture viewing mode menu. Firstly, you can simply leave the camera to improve the image, you can adjust the exposure a bit, remove red eye and under "Glamour retouch" you will find many great opportunities faces to beautify a bit in the example the face may make slimmer , may increase the eyes, teeth or eyes a little more white can, you can reduce the shine, subsequently add eye shadow, lipstick or mascara, give the face a little more color etc. This glamorous function will certainly find a lot of friends;)
*** *** WiFI
The camera has integrated Wifi. To use it you have to the "Wireless Mobile Utility" Load on his mobile device itself. Then you have to activate the WiFi camera in the menu and then connect their mobile device with the Nikon wireless card and then launch the app. Then you can upload them directly to a photo from the camera to his Smartphone. That's just go quite handy eg quick to share his photos on Facebook or Twitter.
Moreover, one can also get in touch with the app and so use the phone as a remote shutter release. One can in principle as a stand Camera anywhere, connect via WiFi with your smartphone and go away. One then sees the live image from the camera on your smartphone, and may at any time press the shutter button, even the zoom function you can use. That's very cool. How often do you use the remains to be seen, but that the camera offers überhauptet this feature seems to be very great.
*** Image Quality ***
The quality of the images is still as good as superior to any image of a smartphone camera. As long as this is so, compact cameras have their place. As soon as mobile phone cameras come standard with zoom functions the competition probably even greater, but at the moment I have not experienced a phone that can keep up. The photos are absolutely great for the target group the camera. Cloudy, with difficult lighting situations it reaches its limits, especially in the dark need photos a little longer and perhaps succeed but not always so good and it is certainly specialists give an in so want a camera to tell about keystone, but I assume, that most people who want to set this camera for no interest anything but just to know if the photos are great and look good, and I can clearly affirm. As I said in the video, so far I have to complain about with this camera really little.

Anyone who has read the review, will have noticed that I like very much the camera. It's a good simple camera that takes great pictures. 12x Zoom, WiFi, Full HD videos are already great features, this camera is really compact, small and light. The handling is simple and straightforward, the picture quality is good and the numerous post-processing effects to be fun.
